The Rundown

The Mustang alums are on record saying he could win a State Title and given his rapid progression, I don’t see why that can’t happen this fall or next spring. You can look at track or you can look at cross for prime examples. At the regional scene, he placed 24^th as a sophomore, qualifying for State, but barely sneaking under 17:00 on a normally quick Portage course. Contrast that with this past year, a 15:55 in a hot race. Given his 15:38 two weeks after and another sub-16 at State, that’s quite a change between the two years.

Or, take a peek at track, where he flashed excellence in all events. I’m guessing the power and speed acquired in the 800m (2:07 to 1:59) had a huge help in his other events (4:29 to 4:15, 9:50 to 9:17). Though, no matter what happens in terms of titles, we know Logan is on an excellent path, ready to lead his Mustangs toward another State Finals berth.
